Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sorting device for sorting piece goods, with a sorting device that transports piece goods to a number of sorting destinations during operation, and with a feed device that supplies piece goods to the sorting device during operation and transfers them to a transfer area. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for sorting piece goods with a sorting device having a sorting device and a feed device, in which piece goods are fed to the sorting device with the feed device and transferred in a transfer area.
  • Sorting devices and methods for sorting piece goods are well known.
  • known feed devices are only capable of linearly moving the piece goods to be fed to the sorting device in one feed direction.
  • the feed direction in the transfer area runs at an angle to the sorting device. Due to the oblique feeding of the piece goods to the sorting device, however, it can happen that not all transport positions of the sorting device can be loaded with piece goods by the feeding device.
  • several feed devices must therefore be provided.
  • the multiple feed devices not only result in increased investment costs. Rather, several feed devices also require a lot of space, which is no longer available for other machines and, for example, other sorting devices.
  • Such a sorting device is, for example, in WO 00/32502 disclosed.
  • Piece goods to be sorted can be, for example, shipping goods, such as letters, small packages and/or parcels.
  • Sorting destinations can therefore be delivery destinations, such as other postal centers or delivery addresses.
  • the sorting device has, for example, thirty-three Delivery destinations into which the piece goods are to be sorted.
  • a sorting destination can combine several delivery addresses.
  • the sorting device can also sort other piece goods, for example piece goods that are to be removed from a warehouse and delivered to a recipient.
  • U.S. 3,198,351 discloses a conveyor system for automatically and semi-automatically transferring packages on a conveyor line.
  • EP 1 645 340 A1 also shows a sorting device for piece goods, such as bottles, with at least one pick-up point and several delivery points and holding devices for holding the piece goods.
  • the feed device must then be stopped and possibly even operated in a direction opposite to the feed direction, in order to be able to remove piece goods from the feed device that cannot be transferred.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a sorting device and a method for sorting piece goods, with which piece goods that cannot be transferred or have not been transferred can be removed without stopping the feed device.
  • a further object can also be that the piece goods can be sorted with little space requirement for the sorting device.
  • a sorting device of the type mentioned at the outset is made available, the sorting device and the feed device being arranged parallel to one another in the transfer area.
  • the sorting device has an unloading device for receiving unrelated items Feeding device to the sorting device transferred piece goods, wherein the unloading device is arranged next to or behind the transfer area.
  • a method of the type mentioned at the outset is made available, with the piece goods being moved in the transfer area parallel to the sorting device, and with piece goods not transferred to the sorting device being unloaded behind or next to the transfer area.
  • the sorting device Due to the parallel arrangement of the sorting device and the feed device in the transfer area and the parallel feeding of the piece goods to the sorting device, the sorting device requires less space in comparison to known sorting devices. In particular, the required space is reduced in that the feed device in the transfer area does not extend away from the sorting device, but rather runs parallel to it, at least in sections.
  • the feed device can have at least one transfer device, with which piece goods can be moved transversely to the course of the feed device in the transfer area.
  • the transfer device is, for example, a cross belt conveyor and is designed to move the piece goods transversely to a feed direction in which the piece goods can be fed to the transfer area.
  • the transfer device can be a shoe sorter, for example, with which the piece goods can be pushed transversely to the course of the feed device.
  • the transfer device can be tiltable at least in sections and, for example, can have a plate that can be lifted on one side, from which the piece goods can be tilted or lifted State of gravity following slides down. Consequently, piece goods can also be transferred to the sorting device transversely to the feed direction, even with a feed device that runs parallel to the sorting device and moves the piece goods parallel to the sorting device.
  • a feed speed at which the feed device feeds piece goods to the sorting device can be controlled independently of a transfer speed at which the piece goods are transferred from the feed device and in particular from the transfer device to the sorting device. Because the feed speed and transfer speed can be controlled independently of one another, piece goods can be fed in and transferred so quickly that all transport positions of the sorting device can be occupied.
  • the transfer speed is only determined by the length of the transfer area in the direction of the feed speed. Consequently, the sorting efficiency of the sorting device is increased compared to known sorting devices, since a higher throughput and in particular the maximum possible throughput of the transfer device and/or the sorting device is achieved with less effort.
  • the sorting device can have a control device with which the feed speed of the feed device can be controlled parallel to the direction of movement of the sorting device in the transfer area as a function of a movement speed of the sorting device. So the feeding speed can be easily matched to the moving speed without affecting the transfer speed if the transfer range is long enough.
  • the feed device can have at least one acceleration device for positioning piece goods to be transferred.
  • the feed speed of piece goods can be adjusted with the acceleration device in order to be able to correct the position of the piece goods in the event of an offset in the direction of delivery to the predetermined transport position on the sorting device.
  • the acceleration device can have a number of acceleration segments or sections which are designed to adapt the position of a number of piece goods to the sorting device independently of one another.
  • the piece goods can also be pre-positioned independently of one another and essentially simultaneously with respect to the respective predetermined transport position when the offset of the piece goods in relation to the respective predetermined transport position varies.
  • the acceleration segments are preferably arranged downstream of one another in the feed direction and can be controlled independently of one another.
  • the control device is thus preferably designed to vary the feed speed in order to position the piece goods to be transferred at the predetermined transport position. If the sorting device has a plurality of acceleration segments, the control device is preferably designed to control the acceleration segments independently of one another and thus to accelerate piece goods on the respective acceleration segment independently of piece goods on another of the acceleration segments.
  • the transfer device is preferably connected downstream of the acceleration device in order to first be able to position the piece goods and then to be able to transfer the positioned piece goods.
  • the sorting device can also have a transport device, for example a conveyor belt, which is connected upstream of the transfer device and/or the acceleration device, placed on the piece goods to be sorted and with which the general cargo is transported in the direction of the transfer area.
  • a transport device for example a conveyor belt, which is connected upstream of the transfer device and/or the acceleration device, placed on the piece goods to be sorted and with which the general cargo is transported in the direction of the transfer area.
  • the unloading device can be arranged next to or behind the transition area. Consequently, the piece goods do not have to be moved counter to the feed direction, since the unloading device is arranged behind the acceleration device in the feed direction.
  • the feed device is arranged at least in sections between the sorting device and the unloading device.
  • the transfer device of the feed device can be arranged between the sorting device and the unloading device.
  • the transfer device does not transport the piece goods that cannot be transferred in the transfer direction towards the sorting device, but rather in an unloading direction running counter to the transfer direction away from the sorting device and towards the unloading device.
  • Such a function can easily be provided with a cross belt conveyor, for example.
  • Piece goods that have not been transferred to the sorting device can therefore easily be unloaded in the direction of movement behind or next to the transfer area, as a result of which the sorting throughput of the sorting device is not reduced or only slightly reduced by piece goods that cannot be transferred, without the feed device having to be stopped or even operated in reverse.
  • the transfer device can have at least one transfer segment, which moves in the transfer area at the transport speed of the sorting device and parallel to the sorting device.
  • the at least one transfer segment is therefore positioned at one of the transport positions of the sorting device along the movement speed of the sorting device and maintains this position at least in the transfer area.
  • the transfer device can receive a number of piece goods and transfer them to the sorting device and/or the unloading device one after the other or simultaneously. As a result, the throughput of the transfer device is increased compared to the transfer device with only one transfer segment.
  • the individual transfer segments can be controlled separately from one another, for example using the control device.
  • the direction in which selected or all of the transfer segments are transferred piece goods to the sorting device and/or to the unloading device can be independent be controllable, so that one of the transfer segments transfers an item that cannot be transferred to the sorting device to the unloading device and another transfer segment transfers another item to the sorting device.
